Resurgently patriotic

The Guardian did actually publish my last letter a week or two ago, so perhaps I'm pushing my luck with this one:

I would add scrapping Trident to Owen Jones' list of proposals to demonstrate Labour's resurgent credentials. This should be clearly linked to a pledge to re-invest much of the money saved in our conventional forces, which are at their lowest ebb for decades. That in turn would reflect the need for capacity building for the climate change crises we will inevitably face, which is to refer to emergency relief in the UK and abroad. Jeremy Corbyn would do well to show his support for the military by actually being seen with them now and then. That would indeed be a resurgent and shall we say, a patriotic gesture.
